The purpose of this project is the creation of a common regional framework for a literacy survey, based on the existing methodologies used in the measurement of literacy, for the assessment of literacy in the CARICOM Region. The framework will contain common survey instruments, training manuals and related materials required for conducting a literacy survey and producing harmonized literacy statistics.

The purpose of the forum is to facilitate discussions on the current state of services statistics in the Region. In essence, it is hoped that this forum would be one of several mechanisms that would seek to enhance capacity building in the development of this area of statistics.
